A/N: Ok, for purposes that will be revealed later on in the fic, just know that Draco and Ginny have been sleeping together. Think of this sequel as at least a few months or more into the future. I couldn't think of a way to write them sleeping together into the story without it sounding out of place, so just know, they have been sleeping together!! Ok!! On with the fic.
While the house elves bustled around the room packing Draco's things, he showered and changed into school robes. He had known his and Ginny's engagement would have to be made public eventually, he had been postponing it in hopes of protecting Ginny. "Marrying a Malfoy is not exactly a walk in the park you know," he mumbled underneath his breath as he combed his hair.
"Master Malfoy," squeaked a shy little house elf. "If Master does not hurry, Master will be late for breakfast."
Draco checked his watch and saw the elf was telling the truth. "Thank you Knobby, please have my trunk placed on tonight's carriage." Summoning his cloak from the back of his chair, Draco hurried out the door to the Great Hall.
"Never fear, the ever devious Draco is here," Malfoy said as he strode into the Great Hall and took his usual seat next to Blaise and in front of Pansy. Her foot immediately began to rub itself up and down his leg and Draco grimaced at the act.
Halfway through a sizable stack of pancakes, owls flew in to deliver the morning post. A rather large bird bearing the Malfoy crest around its neck took up residence in front of Draco. Grimacing once again, he plucked the dark green envelope from its beak. Tossing a spare crust of bread in thanks, Draco sent the animal on its way. Tucking the correspondence away in one of his many robe pockets, Draco proceeded to finish his meal. He would read the letter later, when he found a private moment.
"Draco honey," Pansy spoke in her nasally voice. "What do you say we get together this weekend?"
Very discreetly Draco rolled his eyes. "Sorry Pansy, made other plans." Tossing his napkin on his empty plate, Draco got to his feet and walked away. Exiting the Great Hall, he bumped into none other then Ronald Weasely.
"Malfoy," Ron greeted through slightly clinched teeth.
"Weasely," Draco nodded his head slightly in greeting, before pushing his way past Ron and into the hall.
Heading toward the stairs Draco made his way towards the Room of Requirement. Taking a seat in a particularly fluffy chair, he pulled the letter from his pocket and broke the seal.
Mr. Malfoy,
It is my duty to inform you that there have been a few minor problems concerning your family estate. Taking care of these matters would normally be your father's responsibility, but his disappearance prevents us from contacting him. Your mother as you may or may not be aware is unfit to handle business dealings of this nature. I hate to distract you from your studies but my associates and I shall be arriving in Hogsmeade tonight to discuss these matters with you. I'm sure something can be arranged with your Headmaster to allow your visit to the Gentlemen's Club. Be aware that if these issues are not addressed immediately, they shall eventually worsen.

"Bloody hell," Draco groaned as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Ginny is not going to like this." Draco quickly astral projected to her dorm room. When he opened his eyes again he saw the red and gold hangings that made up Ginny and Hermione's room. "Virginia?" He called out as he lazily strolled around the room, looking at the pictures on the mantel piece.
The bathroom door squeaked open and Draco turned around to greet his fiancée only to witness a horrible sight.
A/N: I know, I'm sorry, I've been a little slow, and the chapters are a little short. I know some of what I want to write, but for some reason I haven't quite gotten into the flow of it yet. Please be patient and give me some time. Review if you like it, review if you hate it, review if you have any suggestions. And if you hate reviewing, well then, don't review, I understand that too J But I do like hearing from you!! White Tiger!
